Bees have three types of colour receptor in their eyes, and their color sensitivities peak in the yellow-green, blue, and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This means that bees can see ultra-violet (which we can't), and the yellow-green receptors peak further up the spectrum that our own red-orange receptors.
However, the receptors also pick up colours either side of their peak sensitivity, so it is likely that a strong enough red light will be detected, but will not be seen as well as we can see it.

∙ 9y agoA bee's color vision ranges from ultra violet (which we can't see) to yellow/orange. To a bee, red will appear the same as black, but they will be able to see any ultra violet reflected from what is to us a red (or black) surface.
No. A bee's colour vision extends from orange-yellow to ultra-violet. They can't see red, but they can see ultra-violet, which we can't.

∙ 14y agoBees have good color vision, but it isn't the same as ours. We see colors ranging from red to blue violet, but can't see infra red or ultra violet. Bees' color vision ranges from orange yellow to ultra violet, so they can't see red. An object which to us appears red may appear black to a bee, but that would depend on whether that object reflects ultra violet light.
Bees see patterns in flower petals that are invisible to us because they are ultra violet. These patters often lead to the nectaries.

Can lions see red light?
Yes they can see a red light. But they can't see enemy other colours.
Does red lights attract insects?
Red light does not attract many insects because inscects cannot percept the color red very well.
What wavelength of light do bees use to see flowers?
Human vision extends across the colour spectrum from wavelengths of 0.4 µm to 0.76 µm which roughly corresponds violet/blue to red. The bee's spectrum of colour is from 0.3 µm to 0.65 µm corresponding from ultra violet to yellow/orange. From this it can be seen that bees cannot detect red but some red flowers reflect ultraviolet light which bees can see.
Do spiders eat mosquitoes?
yes. spiders eat about 15 mosquitoes a day!
Why red bulbs are used as a brooders?
The only thing the light is used for is heat which is what red light is. All other colours of light is only an irritant to the chicks so steps are taken to eliminate them.
Can lions see red light?
Yes they can see a red light. But they can't see enemy other colours.
What color is being reflected to our eyes when we see a red apple?
We see red when red light reaches the retinas in our eyes. A non-luminous object that looks red is absorbing every color of light that hits it except red light, which it reflects.
Does a red flower absorb red light?
No it reflects the red light, thats why we see it as red
What color light would you expect to see on a red buoy?
a red light
What color attracts mosquitoes more light or dark colors?
ANSWER: Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue because it is the brightest color they can see so if they cant smell you they can see you. So mosquitoes are attracted to lighter colors more.
When your retina is stuck with red light and green light what do you see?
YOU SEE..... your mom
What is happening when you see the color red?
When you see the color red, you are seeing red light reflect off of a surface. This means that any other color light that hits that object is absorbed into the surface. The exception to this is when you see red light, in that case you are seeing light that does not contain any other color of light.
When red light strikes a green wall what do you see?
When red light strikes a green wall you see a brown wall!
What attracts mosquitoes carbon dioxide light or color?
After looking into this it seems that it would be carbon dioxide, water, and light. I have yet to find that color has any effect.
Why do you see red when you look at red apples?
The skin of red apples absorb all light except red light. Red light is reflected and it's what we perceive as the color of the fruit.
If you look through a red filter at a sheet of white paper that is in white light what will you see?
Red. As the filter will only allow red light through, it, you can not see anything but reds.
Can fish see a red light?
